It seems to take a long time for the built-in flash to recharge.

Make sure the battery pack in the camera is sufficiently charged. Under normal operation it takes approximately five seconds for the built-in flash to recharge. If the battery power is low, it may take about nine seconds to recharge the flash.

NOTE: The actual charging time of the built-in flash may vary depending upon the shooting conditions and camera settings being used.
